From what I read here, Enigma must best all the above in terms of maturity of Hi-Fi sound.

I've listened to a great part of Bob's "craftworks" and I can only agree, this is the best thing he has ever done at least for my ears and psychoacoustics

Not actually, Avalon was based on ADLC DD, meanwhile the bespoke DD that is mounted on Titan is the evolution of Elan, Astra, Elysium n Opus Meluis bespoke DD

Both r adlc drivers
Bespoke? Means nothing
Wide band? What does that even mean
They prob the same 10-11mm driver
No one has taken them apart to measure

 

[Shadowelite]

Also to My eyes the dd driver in the dm and nale look identical
Altho the nale is 10mm CNT Driver (Carbon nanotube) and dm is 11mm adlc
The top cap and the membrane look identical
Size i cant check coz i cant take the nale apart

I also would like to read an Enigma/Titan comparison by a trained ear...

Another EDP fairly priced

If only it was in the UK I'd have it

 

[PeacockObscura]

Are we even sure the price for those models was fair based on their components and technology involved?

All I will say is its the most expensive iem I've bought the nearest being my Acoustune sets but I don't regret a penny as they are sublime and unlike anything I've heard before I did try the the UM Mest and CA Trifecta from a friend and prefer the Titan by a margin

Encouraging to hear.
Can't wait to get mine then.

Great album for Imaging and Stage testing.
e.g. on track 3 the opening metallic sound on the left
is further distant on Avalon that it is on MEXT.
MEXT is great in this respect also but placement and spacious sense are simply amazing with Avalon.
Can't wait to compare to Titan

However on Titan's description Bob mentioned Astra Ultraque, it wasn't accidentely, from what I heard about Titan sonically were the evolution of that idea. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is what I understood.

Nice suggestion, I put it in the playlist.. I'm trying it with Orioulus SZA and Halcyon.. the distance in my case is greater on SZA but both are extremely to the left, I think it depends on the staging capacity of the IEMs and also on the source with which you listen to them

But i will experiment.

I'd never heard of this album or the artist until he was mentioned on the Darko Audio podcast. Love this album now and agree it is a great album for testing.
